Competitive page

In this section, I'm planning to talk about some of the techniques I find useful in competitive programming. It's quite possible that I will also write about my thinking process instead of simply giving the solution. To be clear, I'm only decent at CP, and therefore I won't always write optimal solutions, use best functions, create preattiest data structures, but that's not important. As I continue learning from other people, I notice again and again that "polished" tutorials are not very effective. I learn much more from someone who stumbles and zig-zags towards the solution because in real life, no one walks in a straight path.

For now, you can enjoy the chart in the sidebar which parses my rating upon page request.

Very useful tips:

1. Remap your CAPS LOCK to ESCAPE! Caps lock is a useless key, Escape is very useful. Stop stressing your pinky out, be a bro!
2. Learning data structures is fine, but math and rationality will take you much further.
3. Practise the endgame - losing a piece is not the end of the world, unless you are a GM (which you are not).
4. Get good first, worry about saving milliseconds with Vim commands second
